URS CASTELLETTI

“Creating fragrances is like a puzzle!” says Urs Castelletti, perfumer with 30 years of experience at the LUZI fragrance house. A bold statement, but what exactly does he mean by this? For Urs, it is the experience that lets him understand what really goes together. But, like so many aspects of craftsmanship, it takes time, training and practice to get there. After decades of experience, Urs has acquired the ability to assemble the individual puzzle pieces into wonderful creations and bring them to life.

DAVID CHIEZE

David has always loved scent and fragrance. He traveled regularly to Provence, France as a child, and still fondly recalls the scent of rosemary in the mountains on warm summer days. It was clear early on that the fascinating world of perfumery was his calling. After graduating with a master’s degree in chemistry, David used his expert knowledge to passionately sell fine fragrance compositions at L’Artisan Parfumeur opening up his world into the realm of fragrances. The words calm, intuitive and passionate probably describe David best. 

Created Almaz by celebrated perfumer Rania Jouaneh, renowned for her exquisitely powerful and sensual perfume creations.

Rania is the innovator and creator of modern and sophisticated natural perfumes. Her passion for fragrances and perfumes originates from her childhood in the Middle East and Africa. There, she was surrounded by the aromas of jasmine trees under which she played, the spice markets, the exotic souks and magical African bazaars. Today she is a perfumer and nose in Paris where nature’s aromas remain the core of her modern and sensual creations.

Rania’s fragrances are a reflection of her personality: authentic and original, natural and sophisticated. She envisages her perfume as a key accessory, one to be worn as jewelry for the skin. She uses noble and rare essences in all her scents while respecting their olfactory richness and complexities.

Fueled with a love of arts, the exotic cuisine and a curious nature to embody emotion in line with creativity, Marc’s fragrance creations tell a distinct story of pure craftmanship and are a testament to his vocation.

In the development of Masa, Marc says “The fragrance contains a sparkling fresh ginger effect harmonized with bergamot and cardamom, Provence herbs, petitgrain and a magnificent transaparent aquatic accord.” He adds “I used a rare characteristic micro-distilled patchouli with a long-lasting ambery woody and musky undertone.”
